Dickens history of England which I had lent Bill Windmill

another book that Lib has sent me to read all about
the pure cursedness of "Papery" "Little of Book" "The Great
Red Dragon". Maud skates all pm and again
in evening. I took a nap this pm first in a long

sweet girl is Muriel, and what a lovely woman is her Aunt Eveline
and her dear uncle Wellie, and the darling boys, Hubert
and Clyde & Lyle. It is nearly midnight when I go to
bed. The afternoon nap cured me of sleepiness.
